Another KW HAS on M3C AWD

M_Adaptive · 11-19-2021, 05:06 AM

When I put my KW’s on I’ll probably drop it at the highest height I can have it for the front and rear and start adjusting from there if need be. I don’t want to scrape my very expensive cf lip but also need to do something about that huge gap.

Front is spot on. For the rear, it's the PS4S, give it some time and raise it 5-10mm.

Vic55 · 11-19-2021, 11:07 AM

I tried to get on level ground and this is 30mm rear on PS4's

This is after raising rear

Looks awesome with the rear raised a bit. That nose dive

M3AWD · 12-02-2021, 01:34 PM

Update 12/2: I raised the rear all the way up. Added two pics here and to the original post for comparison. Level ground. Looks much better now and that's exactly what I'm looking for

but I'm surprised that's the highest you can go on KW HAS

Looks much better.

Note that KW also offers spring spacers in 15mm, 30mm and 50mm for those that want to go outside the available adjustment range.

That looks really good. So, the rear is up as high as you can go on KW HAS? What's the front lowered?

Thanks! The rear is set as high as you can go and the front is (almost) as low as you can go.

This rear height at 30mm looks perfect to me. Nice job.

What height are you running in the front? Did you switch it up for a positive rake?

DS_BMW · 12-17-2021, 06:21 AM

What size spacers are you using? looks great!

Op- how does the ride compare to stock after driving it for a bit?

To be honest I can't tell if there's a difference. I installed it at 1300 miles and driven it less than 300 miles since. Sometimes when I'm running in "Sport" suspension mode it feels a little rough or poor roads but I think even when stock that's how it was.

Good to know I'm not the only one. To me it's fine because that's exactly the height I wanted. But I was thinking if I ever put the car up for sale and the new owner wants it higher I would've been able to say "you can raise the setting" but I guess I can't say that about the rear anymore. Of course I'm keeping the stock springs and now we know that KW also sell suspension spacers to add some "mm".
